Henry is 5 :)

Henry turned 5 on Saturday!

With the help of Granny and Boopa, we had a lovely quiet celebration at home.

Henry really enjoyed his robot cake (not R2D2, exactly, but a hybrid -- fondant, even the cheating marshmallow kind, is tricky to work, and this was my first go at it).

We all went to an afternoon movie together, which was super great.

The funny and the far-fetched

So, Henry has to have surgery on his finger. June 17, two days before his birthday. We don't exactly know what's going on in there, and the hand surgeon says there's no way to tell without cutting the infection and growth off and repairing the nail and ligaments, etc., underneath. It's outpatient surgery in Omaha. Not too funny, definitely far-fetched -- I mean, who gets a bony tumor/infection on his finger at age 4?

Ok, here's the funny. Henry is telling all the children and teachers at school he's having his finger AMPUTATED. His words: "They are just going to cut my whole finger off, totally off. Amputated." I found out when a teacher asked when his surgery would be, and how he might be affected by losing a finger.
